07/31/2006 - Every year I have asked the Streamwood Fest People to carry a Lemon-Lime Soda. You are required to buy tickets, so the Fest controls who sells of all the Sodas. In this case it would have to be "Sierra Mist" Soda, since they serve only Pepsi Products. All they want serve is Pepsi's and Mountain Dew. Their reasoning is that "Sierra Mist" won't sell. "Just drink Dew".
I hope you are aware that "Dew" is loaded with caffine even more than Pepsi and is orange juice based. These are items that really give me digestive problems. So to get the
Streamwood Fest People to see the errors of thier ways and to prove that my web site can prove useful to them, I told them I was going "air the problem on my web site."So I'm asking the following question.
So If given the chioce, would you like a "Dew" over a Lemon-Lime Soda?

Blarney Island, Port O' Blarney, 27843 W. Grass Lake Rd (3.5M W. of 59), Antioch, 847-395-4122, http://www.blarneyisland.com
In 1992, Haley expanded to what is now the land base of operations for Blarney Island known as Port of Blarney. The Port of Blarney is a year 'round restaurant and during the summer is an active marina, plus the home to the Blarney Island's shuttle service.
Blarney Island is located in the middle of Grass Lake, one of the many lakes on the Chain-O-Lakes, in Antioch, Illinois. However, don't worry if you don't own a boat or don't know anyone who does. Blarney Island operates a Shuttle Service to and from The Island. Depending on the day the Shuttle Service departs from the Port of Blarney to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to the Port of Blarney at the bottom of the hour. We provide this service for nominal fee and that fee varies depending on the day of the week. Normal shuttle hours: Mon-Wed: 12N-8p, Thu-Sat: 12N-11p, Sun: 12N-9p,

In 1992, Haley expanded to what is now the land base of operations for Blarney Island known as Port of Blarney. The Port of Blarney is a year 'round restaurant and during the summer is an active marina, plus the home to the Blarney Island's shuttle service.
Blarney Island is located in the middle of Grass Lake, one of the many lakes on the Chain-O-Lakes, in Antioch, Illinois. However, don't worry if you don't own a boat or don't know anyone who does. Blarney Island operates a Shuttle Service to and from The Island. Depending on the day the Shuttle Service departs from the Port of Blarney to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to the Port of Blarney at the bottom of the hour. We provide this service for nominal fee and that fee varies depending on the day of the week. Normal shuttle hours: Mon-Wed: 12N-8p, Thu-Sat: 12N-11p, Sun: 12N-9p,

Come see why The Food Network's Rachael Ray thinks Retro on Roscoe is so fabulous. The Roscoe Village Neighbors is the beneficiary of Retro on Roscoe. This non-profit organization promotes the Village of Roscoe as a friendly place for Chicagoans to live and for local businesses to flourish. It provides an open forum for discussions on how to improve the community and seeks to continually improve safety for the people who live and work in Roscoe Village. Proceeds from Retro on Roscoe benefit Roscoe Village Neighbors. This year, RVN is using Retro income to fund improvements to the business district, donate to the Hamlin Park Baseball field upgrade, support our local schools, Audubon and Jahn, by funding teaching resources and reading materials, and hosting a variety of community events for our membership and members of the community. Sat & Sun: 12N-10p A $5(??) donation is requested at the door, and children under 12 and senior citizens are free. One of Chicago's hottest areas is the home of this flashback weekend of fun. Retro on Roscoe, now in its 12th season, will feature an antique car and motorcycle show, and plenty of '70s, '80s and '90s music to entertain the crowd of over 35,000 people.
Antique and craft vendors, ethnic foods and games, fill the venue and liven up this tree-lined street for an enjoyable, two-day festival that brings back great memories while providing an exciting venue for the entire family. The Family Area is one of the best in the City and offers games, crafts, entertainment and lots more. This weekend will provide an incredible experience filled with exciting opportunities for all in attendance. Do not miss Retro on Roscoe! Special Note:
AMPLE FREE PARKING is available in the parking lot of Lane Tech High School, located at Western Avenue immediately north of Roscoe Street!

Septemberfest is a unique event as it honors Bloomingdale’s past, present and future. The best demonstration of our commitment to the future is the Bloomingdale Scholarship Competition. Started in 1987 with a single award of $400.00 to a young Bloomingdale resident, the program has grown to six and eight scholarships per year. It is open to both young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20 who are residents of incorporated Bloomingdale. This is a way for you, as a business, to show that these young adults are important and deserve support. Donations to the Joe Draghi Scholarship Fund would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. http://www.vil.bloomingdale.il.us/septemberfest

Blarney Island, Port O' Blarney, 27843 W. Grass Lake Rd (3.5M W. of 59), Antioch, 847-395-4122, http://www.blarneyisland.com
In 1992, Haley expanded to what is now the land base of operations for Blarney Island known as Port of Blarney. The Port of Blarney is a year 'round restaurant and during the summer is an active marina, plus the home to the Blarney Island's shuttle service.
Blarney Island is located in the middle of Grass Lake, one of the many lakes on the Chain-O-Lakes, in Antioch, Illinois. However, don't worry if you don't own a boat or don't know anyone who does. Blarney Island operates a Shuttle Service to and from The Island. Depending on the day the Shuttle Service departs from the Port of Blarney to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to the Port of Blarney at the bottom of the hour. We provide this service for nominal fee and that fee varies depending on the day of the week. Normal shuttle hours: Mon-Wed: 12N-8p, Thu-Sat: 12N-11p, Sun: 12N-9p,
